Mountain Meadow, Napa Valley

Napa Big Sky Ranch is on the top of the Atlas Peak grape-growing region of Napa. It is approximately 5 miles away from the Silverado Resort (access to spa, gym and pool) and just 10 minutes away from the Silverado Trail which boasts some of the best wine tasting in the region. Healthy, pure artesian water is available for drinking & bathing and the calm, peaceful mountain-top setting brings one back to another place and time. Napa Big Sky Ranch is a perfect place to come and unwind, read a book, listen to the stillness of nature and be at peace with the world. This place is full of silent stillness and a rustic zen mountain retreat. Yet, if you want world class cuisine, you can have that too because the towns of St. Helena, Rutherford and Calistoga are within reach. This is a great place for a party with the large meadow and secluded setting. Napa Big Sky Ranch is 55 acres of native California woodlands complete with native grasses, meadows oak and madrone trees.

Notes: Handicapped Accessible (may have limitations). Catering Available. The ranch possesses some gorgeous vistas of the valley below and is an original site for native Americans as well as early settlers who homesteaded the land and left ruins such a stone corrals and fences. There are also remnants of an early stage coach line which traversed the property. Many native American arrowheads have been found on the land and you can almost feel the ancient spirits of the ancestors residing there still today.

We want to be able to share this beautiful place with other people and allow them to enjoy the healthy benefits of the artesian water and peaceful mountain setting.

Year Purchased: 2000 - Privacy and solitude. The health benefits of drinking pure, unadulterated water. Enjoying friends and family in a natural setting. Hiking and being in nature.

Owner is an environmentalist and businessman residing in Marin County. This property has been in his family for over 80 years. He has placed two of the meadows into conservation easements, forever wild. His wife has been active as a marketing professional most her life as well as a part-time eco-goddess. They welcomed their son into the world on New Years Eve 2008. They hope to pass on their love of the animals and the natural world to him ( a future knight in shining armor.)

Reviews for this vacation house rental in Napa, California

Exceptional family retreat!

Review Submitted: December 21, 2010 Date of Stay: November 2010 Napa Big Sky Ranch is an exceptional location for a family get away! We had 8 adults, a baby and two dogs and there was plenty of room for every one. The house is spacious and filled with comfortable beds, lovely books and great family games. The kitchen is spacious and the living room is great for hanging out. The wrap around deck is a great place to relax and watch the sunset. The grounds are perfect for a family campfire (with s'mores, of course!) and there are small trails right from the property. I highly recommend the location. My family had an amazing time!!

Room to Move: Inside and Out

Review Submitted: November 27, 2010 Date of Stay: November 2010 This was an 8 – 10 person girls’ getaway and the owner/staff made the experience memorable for everyone from reservation to checkout. The property description was accurate and gave the group an opportunity to settle into a clean property with room to spread out. The property was extremely private which provided a nice outdoor feel. Perhaps one could recommend a boys’ getaway with a nice outdoor fire pit. J-Boy Henderson

Great place for Napa vacation

Review Submitted: November 9, 2010 Date of Stay: November 2010 We've stayed 3 nights (5 couples) and enjoyed well maintained house and beautiful nature around the house. Especially the large fire pit for camp fire every night. Friendly deers are wandering in the large property. Nicely prepared trail in the property. Very kind and helpful manager. We want to come back again soon.

Perfect Vacation Spot

Review Submitted: November 8, 2010 Date of Stay: October 2010 My friends and I rented this property for a long weekend visit to Napa and Sonoma. The house was the perfect size (we had 7 people - 2 couples and 3 singles), but you could easily fit 4 couples. This was a great home base, perfect to be able to go out and tour wineries all day and go home for a great barbeque and campfire, complete with smores! We cooked breakfast every morning, and were able to prepare lunches, so our overall trip cost was less because we didn't need to eat every meal out. It was close to plenty of stores, and restaurants for the nights we did go out to dinner. The house was very comfortable, had great TV reception to catch football games and the world series, wifi - so we could get on the net, and plenty of deer to come visit us in the morning across the open field. I would definitely go back. Faith Palmyra, NJ

In Napa for wedding

Review Submitted: October 5, 2010 Date of Stay: September 2010 We were in Napa to attend my Nephew's wedding in town. A total of 10 people stayed at house and the accomodations were perfect. We didn't need for anything. We are outdoors kind of people and loved the hiking trails and surrounding landscape. The kids were also thrilled there was satellite tv and a dvd player for watching movies at night. We enjoyed the short drive into town...although, it is difficult to keep your eyes on the road due to the spectacular views driving down. The multi patio areas at the home allow you to watch sunrise and sunset, the deer come up in the evenings and morning hours to eat from the pears that have fallen from a tree and enjoy the fantastic weather. We would opt to stay on the property again without hesitation. Lisa Grapevine, TX
